About this property

Private House with Fantastic Views off Home Stretch Trail

Timberframe house on Bear Peak side of Killington Ski Area has everything you need for a quiet mountain side vacation any time of year. Located off a long private driveway on a steep wooded lot, you will feel like you are living in a treehouse. Just a three minute walk from driveway to Homestretch ski trail, the house is easy to ski from and ski to. Be on the slopes in no time and stop by the house for lunch. In early or late season, the house is a short drive to Bear Mountain base and 10 minutes to the Killington base area. Winter views through large picture windows are spectacular with sight-lines to the south, Bear Peak and Skye Peak. The summer is perfect for hiking, and mountain biking. The Skyeship Gondola mid-station access road leads right from the house and leads to mountain biking and hiking trails. Swimming, kayaking, rafting, and golf are all near by. Fall is the time to see the leaves turning color.

Built on a slope, the house is accessed through a set of stairs leading down from the driveway. Entry is through a mud room ideal for putting boots on and off and hanging outdoor clothing. The main floor has a fully equipped kitchen, dining room, living room and large half bath. The living room has a wood-stove and large HDTV. The main level has sliders to decks off the living room and off the dining room. The master bedroom is one floor up with a king bed and large picture windows. The second floor also includes a full bathroom with double vanities as well as an area under the eave with a twin bed. The third floor is a loft area with two queen beds. Two more bedrooms, both with queen beds, a family room and another full bath are on the lower level.

Purchased in 2013, the house has undergone extensive renovations to include new insulation, windows, siding, deck, appliances, electric service, wood stove, furniture, beds & mattresses, carpet, and tile floors. A new 6 person hot-tub was added in 2014.

Note that access to the house is on mountain roads which can be slippery in winter. All wheel or front wheel drive are highly recommended for winter months. The house has many stairs, loft area and decks which may pose safety hazards to small children. Open loft area and interior wood doors and walls do not provide sound insulation.

Cleaning is included in rate.

Beyond Our Expectations

We absolutely loved this place!! Photos do not do justice. If you’re hesitant on booking, just do it! You won’t be disappointed. It was convenient to the ski on/off trail and close drive to other base lodges. A lot of snow fell when we were there and the driveway was kept plowed. AWD with snow tires and/or chains and you won’t have a problem. We’re definitely rebooking in the future. Thanks so much for having us!

Winter Ski Trip to Killington

Driving up to the property I was impressed at how secluded and breathtaking the views were. Inside heavy wooden doors and the rustic ski lodge charm made our group feel all at home. We had plenty of space for our group and the walk to pick up the Killington ski trail was shorter than expected. The hot-tub was a convenient and welcome after a long day on the trails. 5 stars to the property and the host, you won't be disappointed in your stay here.

Great views, Hot hot tub

The house surpassed our expectations. Great views from many windows. Pictures don't do it justice. The walk to the run was shorter than expected and the hot tub was hotter than expected (about 10 degrees hotter than what the thermostat says.) It's a regular drip coffeemaker, if you're wondering.

Weekend ski trip

The house was perfect for a group of 4 friends for a weekend ski trip. We each had our own room and there was plenty of space to spread out. Good location a short walk to the trails. Something had gotten into the trash before we got there and the firewood was running low, but the owner was very responsive and had someone clean up and dig out some more firewood by the time we returned from the slopes on our first day.

Weekend in killington

Great location. Very comfortable and warm house. Had several area wide power outages over the weekend but Michael was very responsive and although not much he could do about them, he was great about keeping us up to date and the wood stove provide more than adequate heat.

A very beautiful house, there were four families and at the same time there was enough space, very large windows. Very close and convenient to get to the ski slopes. We will recommend it to our friends and also want to return there again. Have a very good time.

Loved this place!!

Our group had only good things to say about this property! Very rustic/ski lodge vibes. We were a group of 9 adults, and it fit us perfectly. The location was amazing, and we lucked out and we’re able to take advantage of the ski on/ski off trail. 10/10 would recommend and we can’t wait to stay here again!

Killington Ski Vacation

This rustic timber frame home is very unique and fun to stay at. You are immersed in the feeling of being on a mountain side in a modern cabin, yet have all the amenities you need to feel at home. The beds are very comfortable and the wood stove warms the home. Everyone enjoyed their time and Michael was super easy to work with. This was a just the perfect place for our family to stay.

Cute, rustic house with great location

Loved the skiing at Killington. The house’s location is perfect: walk down driveway and up the road, and slap on your skis. You’ll literally walk more down the driveway than up the road. The house has the rooms well spread out so the adults could have our space and the teens theirs. Michael was very responsive.

Go for it!

We had a great vacation at this house. The pictures do not do it justice - it is really lovely, rustic, and comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped, the couches comfortable, lots of book and games. We enjoyed the hot tub. The ski in ski out is not the easist(stairs, steep driveway & a few hundred foor walk), but we all did it! It was much easier after the 18 inches of snow that fell.

Great Location

Killington is a great ski/outdoor resort area! During the week we stayed we ventured north to Burlington- south to Weston-east to Saint Johnsbury! Our host Michael was very easy to reach and responded promptly! The house is as described... sitting on the side of the mountain. Lots of stairs inside and out! Beds were comfortable. Kitchen well stocked. Hot tub was a nice feature. Some minor concerns were the dryer took forever to dry but the owner was aware and knew he needed to look into it. The showers were small but certainly usable. Slight musty smell in the lower level bedrooms again still usable though. Overall we completely enjoyed our Killington mountain vacation!

Didn't want to leave

The house and location was everything that we were hoping for. Excellent privacy, super fast and reliable Internet, plenty of space and fully equipped. We wanted for nothing. The peace and quiet was serene and blissful yet the house was close enough to golf, kayaking and the access road to be convenient, too. Just a perfect summer respite and one we highly recommend.

Great fall getaway

Great location- perched on the side of the mountain, easy access to trails for hiking (wasn't ski season for us) . House was clean, well-equipped and perfect for our quick 5 day getaway. Hot tub was clean and perfect. The owner was great with communications, responsive and helpful. Covid precautions were good. Thanks for the great mini- vacation during foliage season in these strange times!
